hey guys

just got car back from mechanics today fixing the headgasket i blew

..

thats all sweet

but driving the car around today for a few hours, and the change into 3rd gear from 2nd and then the change from 3rd to 4th gear were extreamly stiff.. andyways ... cruising up a steep hill in 3rd, need the exra oumfff to get up the hill.. so i go to change down to 2nd

and i get nothing... i got the car out of 3rd gear, but then i couldnt get it back into any gears what so ever

i managed to get the stick into what felt like 1st gear... but the car didnt go anywhere... it jus reved out

initially i thought i' done the clutch, but after a couple of minuted i manged to well and truely force it inot what feels like 3rd gear and limp it the 4km home... was just lucky i didnt get any red traffic lights lol

what could it be causing me to not be able to get the car into gear

i know the mechanics didnt do anything, because i was helping them do the head gasket replacement the whole time and nothing was touched

any ideas?

yeah cluch is fine still nice and solid like normal

i was there helping the mechanic (girl friends dad) fix the headgasket, gearbox wasnt touched and engine was left in place

although not long after i got it back the car would not move while turning at low speeds (car is a r32 gts-4) and the torque gauge was going off tap

i didnt want to have to deal with it for the time being so i just pulled the fuse and ran the car in 2wd and those problems stopped

that night the problems i mentioned in my first post happened

the slave cyl reivour is plenty full and i even drove home in 3rd gear, so the clutch itself is fine too.

just getting in and out of gears was the issue

just went out to the car a minute ago to see if i could move the gear stick... nothing pretty much the only movement i get from it is a slight up and down movement, cant even get that nice side to side movement you get while in neutral

is there a selctor or linkage inside the box that could be broken... i have no idea whats going on!

thanks

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
